I have 5 relatives diagnosed with cancer, and only two still alive.

My 1st aunt (mother's side) died in about one year after diagnosis of breast cancer. When she die, I was only about one years old.

My 4th aunt (mother's side) diagnosed with uterus cancer after give birth to my cousin more than 10 years ago. Luckily, the cancer was found early. She have her uterus removed immediately, and still alive today.

My grandfather (dad's side) died from lung cancer when I was about 13. He never smoke, none of my family members smoke. Doctor said he can't have operation or any treatment because of old age.

My father died from pancreatic cancer about 3 years ago. In 2004, he was diagnosed with this disease and have large part of pancreas removed. He do chemotherapy. About two years later, the cancer relapse and spread. He died after a few months. Doctor said my dad can life about 2 and half years already considered lucky, as most of the patient with this cancer cannot live more than one year.

My grandmother (mother's side) diagnosed with lymphoma. She is still alive but she never believe that she has this disease. She is stubborn, doesn't believe the doctor. She refuse for treatment.

Nowadays, even babies also get cancer.

However, if you or your family having cancer, don't follow my grandmother. Just follow what the doctor said, do whatever treatment suggested by doctor. Good luck.

Of couse, I don't 100 % believe the doctor. But research on the internet prove that what the doctor said is true. And, I have family member studying medical also, he can prove the same.

Some stupid cancer patient does not follow what the doctor said. They refuse to do chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or any operation. Their stupid mind go and believe those medicine maker or dishonest merchant. At the end, their life were destroyed by their stupid mind.

Yes. This is true. Not every doctors in this world are dishonest. One doctor is bad does not mean all other doctors are bad. We can always seek for different opinions by different doctors.

Ok.

Whatever, I just want to tell people, doesn't matter they believe the doctor or not, they should completely not trust those bomoh, medicine maker, pawang, or others who is not a registered doctor. Because those people only want to get profit from disease patient.

Anybody know about Li Fraumeni syndrome?

Li Fraumeni Syndrome is a disease that will change the p53 gene and cause several tumors and cancers. Once a person was found to have this disease, he or she will face several cancers in his / her life, NON-STOP. That means a cancer patient with Li Fraumeni Syndrome, once his / her cancer successfully cured, another cancer will come again. It is also possible that he / she can have multiple cancers at the same time.

Very sad, currently no medical technology can cure this syndrome. And, this syndrome will be inherited by next generation. That means, if you have this syndrome, your next generations, children, and grandchildren will have very high chances to have this syndrome.

I know all these after I watch a Hong Kong TVB drama "The Seventh Day" which the main actress died from cancer at the end because of this syndrome, and then I done some online research after watching.

Ladies and gentlemen, one cancer already can make a patient suffer enough. Imagine a person with this syndrome, ........ (you should know what I mean).

According to my research, beside Li-fraumeni Syndrome, there is another syndrome called "Cowden syndrome" which also cause cancers, although not as serious as Li-fraumeni syndrome.

It is really sad to know that there is such disease exist in this world.

In reality, we can successfully cure a cancer. But still no way to cure Li fraumeni syndrome. So, patient with this syndrome, when one of his/her cancer successfully cured, another will come again, again and again.

My advice to you all, NEVER take any medicine which is not given by doctor. If you really want to try a medicine, consult your doctor about the medicine first. Else, when something happened,.......... you know what I mean.

My family cancer history:

1. My dad died from pancreatic cancer.
2. 1 Maternal aunt died from breast cancer.
3. 1 maternal aunt was able to detect early cervical cancer, cured with operation.
4. Paternal grandfather died from lung cancer.
5. Another relative diagnosed with nasopharynx cancer (nose), cured.

My questions:

1. Do I, my siblings, my cousins, and our next generation may have inherited cancers? How much the chance?

2. I am in the age of 22. How frequent should I go for medical check?

3. Children easy to get cancer. Many children nowadays are diagnosed with cancer. Before or after I become father, is there any pre-caution to take? And, do I need to bring my children to go for medical check even without symptoms, to detect early cancer? How frequent?

There are some types of cancers attack you even if you never expose to any carcinogens during life time. Just look at leukemia in Children. Some of the children, 3-4 years old already diagnosed with cancer.

Sometimes, even a mother eat healthy foods and try the best to have healthy lifestyle during pregnancy, but the baby born with cancer.

Retinoblastoma, a type of malignant tumor in eye. This cancer very rare, but mostly happen to children about 5 years old or younger.

Sarcoma (malignant tumors in bone) are not related to foods or any outside carcinogens. People eat diet food, do exercise, never face any accidents that cause bone injury, but died from bone cancer.

But, some sarcomas can be happened if your bone ever get injured. if you ever face any accident (e.g. fall down, car accident) that injure any part of your bone, becareful, these accidents cause damage to your bone and you might face risk of having cancer in bone after several years.

Pity for your family members. My family also not different. My dad, maternal aunt, maternal grandma, and paternal grandfather died from different cancers. There are other relatives suffered from cancer before but now cured.
